that sells any shares of Unidigital Stock acquired hereunder within three (3)
years from the Closing Date (the "Restrictive Period"), but in no event shall
any such sale by Xxxxx Xxxxxx constitute a breach under this Agreement; and
provided further that in no event shall any of the following be deemed to
constitute a sale by a Stockholder: (i) a disposition of Unidigital Stock to
satisfy an indemnity claim hereunder (pursuant to Section 2.12, Article 8, the
Escrow Agreement or otherwise); or (ii) any involuntary disposition of
Unidigital Stock, including, without limitation, a transfer to a judgment
creditor or trustee in bankruptcy in connection with the bankruptcy of a
Stockholder, a disposition by a Stockholder pursuant to a divorce decree or
settlement, or a stock swap, or other disposition in connection with a merger or
other business combination of Unidigital. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
event a Stockholder is terminated by Unidigital or Sub "without cause" or such
Stockholder terminates his Employment Agreement or Consulting Agreement, as
applicable, for "good reason" or such Stockholder's Employment or Consulting
Agreement, as applicable, is terminated because of death or disability (as such
terms are defined in the Employment Agreements or the Consulting Agreement, as
applicable), (i) the Restrictive Period (for that Stockholder only) shall lapse,
(ii) the measuring period for the determination of the Average Bid Price will
commence as of the date of termination of the Employment Agreement or the
Consulting Agreement, as the case may be, and (iii) the Post Closing Adjustment,
if any, shall be paid within ten (10) days following the end of the applicable
measuring period. It is understood and agreed that any Stockholder who is not
employed, or engaged as a consultant, by the Company on the third anniversary of
the Closing Date shall not be entitled to any portion of the Post-Closing
Adjustment, unless the Stockholder's Employment or Consulting Agreement has been
terminated by reason of death or disability, or by the Company without cause or
by the Stockholder for good reason. All shares issued pursuant to the
Post-Closing Adjustment shall be treated as issued pursuant to the plan of
reorganization as defined in Section 2.11 hereof. No portion of the Post-Closing
Adjustment shall be treated as compensation for services and all tax returns
filed by Unidigital and Sub shall be consistent with such treatment.
(d) The Post-Closing Adjustment shall be payable to the Stockholders in
shares of Unidigital Stock which for these purposes shall be valued based on the
Average Bid Price and shall otherwise be determined as provided in Section
2.6(c). Such shares of Unidigital Stock shall be delivered to the Stockholders

(a) General.
-------
(i) Subsequent to the Closing, the Stockholders shall indemnify

and hold each of the Unidigital Indemnified Parties harmless from any and all
damage, claim, loss, cost, cause of action, liability or expense, including
without limitation, interest, penalties, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses
of investigation (collectively "Damages") incurred by any such Unidigital

36
any warranty, representation, covenant or agreement of Xxxxxx or the
Stockholders contained in this Agreement or any schedule hereto or in any
certificate delivered by or on behalf of Xxxxxx or any such holder pursuant to
this Agreement; provided that the foregoing indemnity shall be several and not
joint with respect to the breach of any representation or warranty contained in
Article 3A, or which is otherwise expressly stated to be made severally by the
Stockholders, and shall apply only to Damages arising out of breach of a
representation or warranty made by the indemnifying Stockholder. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Stockholders shall not have any liability under Section
8.2(a)(i) in respect of any claim for indemnification with respect to any Taxes
imposed upon Xxxxxx attributable to the payment of the Merger Consideration in
connection with the Merger.
(ii) Subsequent to the Closing, Unidigital shall indemnify the
Stockholders against, and hold the Stockholders harmless from, (A) any Damages
incurred by the Stockholders, that arise out of or relate to, the breach of any
warranty, representation, covenant or agreement of Unidigital or Sub contained
in this Agreement, any schedule or in any certificate delivered by or on behalf
of Unidigital or Sub pursuant to this Agreement and (B) any taxes imposed upon
Xxxxxx attributable to the Merger. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Unidigital and
Sub shall not have any liability under this Section 8.2(a)(ii) in respect of any
claim for indemnification with respect to any Taxes imposed upon the
Stockholders attributable to the payment of the Merger Consideration in
connection with the Merger, provided that Unidigital and Sub comply with the
covenants contained in Section 9.2 hereof.
(iii) Notwithstanding Section 8.2(a)(i), the Stockholders shall not
have any liability under Section 8.2(a)(i) in respect of any claim for
indemnification until the aggregate amount of all Damages otherwise subject to
indemnification equals or exceeds $75,000, at which time only those Damages in
excess of $75,000 shall be recoverable; provided, however, that in no event
-------- -------
shall the aggregate liability of all the Stockholders under Section 8.2(a)(i)
exceed $2,275,000 and, provided, further, however, that in no event shall the
-------- ------- -------
maximum liability of a Stockholder exceed that portion of the Cash Consideration
received by him pursuant to Section 2.6.
(iv) Notwithstanding Section 8.2(a)(ii), Unidigital shall not have
any liability under Section 8.2(a)(ii) in respect of any claim for
indemnification until the aggregate amount of all Damages otherwise subject to
indemnification equals or exceeds $75,000, at which time only those Damages in
excess of $75,000 shall be recoverable; provided, however, that in no event
-------- -------
shall the aggregate liability of Unidigital under Section 8.2(a)(ii) exceed
$2,275,000.
(v) The term "Damages" as used in this Section 8.2 is not limited to
matters asserted by third parties against the Stockholders or Unidigital
Indemnified Parties, but includes Damages incurred or sustained by such persons
in the absence of third party claims.
(b) Procedure for Claims. If a claim for Damages (a "Claim") is to be
---------------------
made by a person entitled to indemnification hereunder, the person claiming such
indemnification (the "Indemnified Party"), shall give written notice (a "Claim
Notice") to the indemnifying person (the "Indemnifying Party") as soon as
practicable after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of any fact, condition or
event which may give rise to Damages for which indemnification may be sought
under this Section 8.2. The failure of any Indemnified Party to give timely
notice (within five (5) business days) hereunder shall not affect rights to
indemnification hereunder, except and only to the extent that, the Indemnifying
Party demonstrates actual material damage or prejudice caused by such failure
(except that the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any expenses
incurred during the period in which the Indemnified Party failed to give such
notice). In the case of a Claim involving the assertion of a claim by a third
party (whether pursuant to a lawsuit or other legal action or otherwise, a
"Third-Party Claim"), if the Indemnifying Party shall acknowledge in writing to
37
the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party shall be obligated to
indemnify the Indemnified Party under the terms of its indemnity hereunder in
connection with such Third-Party Claim, then (A) the Indemnifying Party shall be
entitled and, if it so elects, shall be obligated at its own cost and expense
(1) to take control of the defense and investigation of such Third-Party Claim
and (2) to pursue the defense thereof in good faith by appropriate actions or
proceedings promptly taken or instituted and diligently pursued, including,
without limitation, to employ and engage attorneys of its own choice reasonably
acceptable to the Indemnified Party to handle and defend the same, and (B) the
Indemnifying Party shall be entitled (but not obligated), if it so elects, to
compromise or settle such claim, which compromise or settlement shall be made
only with the written consent of the Indemnified Party, such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed. In the event the Indemnifying Party elects to
assume control of the defense and investigation of such lawsuit or other legal
action in accordance with this Section 8.2(b), the Indemnified Party may, at its
own cost and expense, participate in the investigation, trial and defense of
such Third-Party Claim; provided that, if the named persons to a lawsuit or
other legal action include both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party
and the Indemnified Party has been advised in writing by counsel and such
counsel reasonably determines that there may be one or more legal defenses
available to such Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to
those available to the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall be
entitled to separate counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party and
at the Indemnifying Party's reasonable cost and expense (including the
reasonable fees and expenses of counsel). If the Indemnifying Party fails to
assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim in accordance with this Section 8.2
within 15 calendar days after receipt of the Claim Notice, the Indemnified Party
against which such Third-Party Claim has been asserted shall (upon delivering
notice to such effect to the Indemnifying Party) have the right to engage
counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party to undertake the
defense, compromise and settlement of such Third-Party Claim on behalf of and
for the account of the Indemnifying Party at the Indemnifying Party's reasonable
cost and expense (including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel);
provided that such Third-Party Claim shall not be compromised or settled without
the written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed. In the event the Indemnifying Party assumes
the defense of the claim, the Indemnifying Party shall keep the Indemnified
Party reasonably informed of the progress of any such defense, compromise or
settlement, and in the event the Indemnified Party assumes the defense of the
claim, the Indemnified Party shall keep the Indemnifying Party reasonably
informed of the progress of any such defense, compromise or settlement. The
parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize Damages from
Third-Party Claims shall act in good faith in responding to, defending against,
settling or otherwise dealing with such claims, notwithstanding any dispute as
to liability as between the parties under this Section 8.2. The parties shall
also cooperate in any such defense, give each other reasonable access to all
information relevant thereto and use commercially reasonable efforts to make
employees and other representatives available on a mutually convenient basis to
provide additional information and explanation of any material provided in
connection therewith. The Indemnifying Party shall be liable for any settlement
of any Third-Party Claim effected pursuant to and in accordance with this
Section 8.2 and for any final judgment (subject to any right of appeal), and the
Indemnifying Party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Party
from and against any and all Damages by reason of such settlement or judgment.
(c) Indemnification Amounts. Any Damages for which indemnification is
------------------------
provided under this Agreement shall be (i) increased to take account of any net
Tax Cost incurred by the Indemnified Party arising from the receipt or indemnity
payments hereunder (i.e., grossed-up for any Tax incurred on such increase),
(ii) reduced to take account of any net Tax Benefit realized by the Indemnified
Party arising from the incurrence or payment of any such Damages, (iii) reduced
to take account of any insurance proceeds or other third-party recoveries
realized by the Indemnified Party arising from the incurrence or payment of any
such Damages, (iv) in the case of any payment to Unidigital Indemnified Parties,
reduced to take account of any net Tax Benefit realized by Sub arising from the
incurrence or payment of any such Tax
38
or other amount, and (v) in the case of any payment to Unidigital Indemnified
parties, increased to take account of any net Tax Cost incurred by Sub or any
Affiliate arising from the receipt of indemnity payments hereunder. In the event
Unidigital or any Affiliate thereof (including, without limitation, Sub) obtains
an increase in the basis of any asset (other than stock) directly or indirectly
as a result of any event giving rise to any Tax for which such Unidigital
Indemnified Party would be entitled to indemnification if it paid or otherwise
incurred the economic burden associated therewith, Unidigital shall be deemed to
have received a net Tax Benefit.
(d) Characterization of Indemnifying Payments. The parties agree that
------------------------------------------
any indemnification payments (and/or adjustments) made pursuant to this
Agreement shall be treated for all Tax purposes as an adjustment to the Merger
Consideration, unless otherwise required by applicable law.
8.3 No Right of Contribution.
After the Closing, the Stockholders shall not have any right of
contribution against the Surviving Corporation for any breach of any
representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of Xxxxxx. The Stockholders and
Unidigital shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive relief,
without posting bond or other security, for the purpose of asserting their
respective rights under this Article 8. The remedies described in this Article 8
shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other remedies at law or in
equity that the parties may elect to pursue.
8.4 Escrow; Right of Offset.
If the Escrow Agreement is in effect at the time an assertion of
indemnification is made by a Unidigital Indemnified Party, the obligations of
the Stockholders hereunder with respect to the Damages shall be satisfied first
by the distribution to the Unidigital Indemnified Party of the appropriate
portion of the Escrow Fund held pursuant to the Escrow Agreement and, only
thereafter, by the Stockholders directly. Neither the exercise nor the failure
to exercise such rights under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement shall
constitute an election of remedies or limit Unidigital or Sub in any manner in
the enforcement of any legal or equitable remedies that may be available to such
parties.
ARTICLE 9.
